English art critic John Ruskin was one of the great visionaries of
his time, and his influential books and letters on the power of art
challenged the foundations of Victorian life. He loved looking.
Sometimes it informed the things he wrote, but often it provided
access to the many topographical and cultural topics he
explored--rocks, plants, birds, Turner, Venice, the Alps. In The
Art of Ruskin and the Spirit of Place, John Dixon Hunt focuses for
the first time on what Ruskin drew, rather than wrote, offering a
new perspective on Ruskin's visual imagination. Through analysis of
more than 150 drawings and sketches, many reproduced here, he shows
how Ruskin's art shaped his writings, his thoughts, and his sense
of place.
